'''Othrod''' was one of the three [[orcs]] named in the [[Fall of Gondolin]] as being slain by [[Tuor]]. Othrod was "a lord of the Orcs". The two other named orcs slain by Tuor were [[Balcmeg]] and [[Lug]]. We are also told that [[Ecthelion]] slew an orc named [[Orcobal]], "their chiefest champion".
